Database
The Researcher Database provides the contact details of IAJR registered researchers.
- Identify Judo Researchers and scientists around the world.
- Facilitate opportunities for researchers to meet by creating a communication network across all these researches and scientists.
- Providing a discussion forum to enable communication between all those who use the website (Please find information on the Research page).
- Encourage and support judo related activities between students and researchers.
THE IAJR DATABASE (LAUNCHING AUGUST 2009)
The IAJR Database
The IAJR Database will be presented during our congress in Rotterdam. The database, which is being tested at the moment will support researchers to develop their projects on a virtual laboratory hosted on the IAJR website. The database has been developed using Moodle, which is an e-learning software platform, also know as “Virtual Learning Environment, which has been adapted to support projects developed by Judo Researchers. The IAJR Database will contain:
The IAJR Calendar has been created to support and promote academic events and seminars around the world. As a member, researchers will be able to suggest and add events to the Calendar Database. Information will be also added on the software calendar, allowing researchers to keep up to date about events around the world.
The IAJR News is a tool which will allow researchers to exchange information about research opportunities around the world (scholarships, grants, exchange programmes, job offers and many others prospects).
IAJR Library is where researchers will “meet” to exchange abstracts of academic papers. The Library is divided into 10 Macro-subjects: Biomechanics, Physiology, Psychology, Sociology, Pedagogy, Disabled Sport, Refereeing, History and Culture, Performance Analysis, and Others. The Library aims to maximise our current database by allowing researchers to add other abstracts.
The IAJR Network was designed to bring universities closer and also support and facilitate cooperation and exchange between academics as well as students between institutions.
The IAJR Discussion Forums were designed to provide researchers with an area where they can relax and discuss a wide range of subjects, such as competitions, judo videos, techniques, kata, culture, judo etiquette, and miscellaneous.
The IAJR Research Groups are designed to create a virtual area where researchers will be able to work on the same project from different locations. For example: Researcher 1 (in Europe) uploads a video, audio, text or photo demonstrating a part of a group project research to the IAJR Research Group Database . Researcher 2 (in Oceania), analyses the data uploaded on the IAJR Research Group Database by the researcher 1, providing him with feedback and suggestions. Researcher 3 (in Asia), reads the feedback provided by the researcher 2, and produces a new video showing the corrections suggested by the researcher 2 (...)
